Almost 300 people were killed when the Malaysian Airlines flight was shot down over Ukraine in 2014. The UN aviation council has ruled that Russian-backed separatists were to blame.
The United Nations’ aviation council on Monday, ruled that Russia was responsible for downing of the Malaysian Airlines flight over Ukraine, which killed all of the nearly 300 people on board in 2014.
This number included 196 Dutch citizens and 28 Australian citizens, their governments said in separate statements.
The case was launched in 2022 by Australia and the Netherlands.
The UN only has power insofar as other countries agree that it does. If they start taking harsher stances, countries will start pulling out of the UN which defeats its whole purpose.
Nobody will want to join the UN when they see how little is done for member states. Their inaction will be their end, just like the League of Nations before them.
Then don’t. They are free to leave.
